Happy Korrasami Anniversary! These two drawings are a gift for @grimsonchin who requested Korrasami family for the 2022 secret santa!

I finally finished this one! It was waiting half finished since I posted the first in this series (?) of family drawings with Mai, Zuko and Izumi braiding Druk’s mane [link]

Of course Aang is proud, Bumi. 

I may or may not have gone overboard with my Legend of Korra button designs… Available in my online store! ( http://lauraknatt.storenvy.com/ )

Kataang Didn’t Work (and that’s okay)

I know, I know. I’m poking the happily sleeping beast: Zutara vs. Kataang, the ship war to end all others. But ever since Jana made her detailed cause for the former, something’s been awakened in me.

For those unfamiliar with Avatar: The Last Airbender (rethink your choices), “Kataang” and “Zutara” refer to two relationship pairings that gained popularity in the fandom. One was between the protagonist, Aang, and his traveling companion Katara. The other was between the former-antagonist-turned-deuteragonist Zuko, and…Katara.

What’s funny is that they both had rather similar levels of “support” by the show’s narrative, at least for the better part of its three seasons, and they both played into rather common romantic tropes. For Kataang, there is the expectation that the “hero gets the girl,” and Aang was a straightforward “chosen one” who always had a romantic attraction to Katara. With Zutara, it was the “opposites attract”/“heated fighting” dynamic between two characters, who were both also the most attractive (maybe?), as well as both teenagers. Hormones, duh.

As promised. I get emotional at the end.

I really rather love these. More excellent analysis!

Finally got around to reading this. Zutara was always my OTP, but damn does this really make sense. 

“The Kataang dynamic went from feeling remarkable contrived, to being one of the most brutally true-to-life. As much as I want “better” for Katara and Aang, or at least more happiness/less anxiety, there’s nothing better that I could want for myself, as a viewer. It’s broken, it’s messy, and it’s intellectually honest. I’ve won the battle over myself. Kataang is my OTP.“

based of this~

So I really wanted to see what Kya looked like when she was younger, then I thought well, why not do the rest of them? They’re all heavily based on their older versions but hey, it’s a start.

So, um… Kya, how about we go on a holiday together? Please? Just the two of us? (She’s beautiful and I’m very gay)

Happy Anniversary or day of Nick’s most famous couple Korra and Asami

Love the style!

I saw our future.
